I have installed Xcode from the Tool cd, I thought that would let me use gcc from the command line but I can't find it.
What am I missing
EDIT
When I wrote I can't find it I meant "I look for it using which gcc"
If gcc would have been in the PATH in first place, which would have find it.
Since gcc is not in the PATH ( that's what brought me here in first place ) which won't find it!
I think that was obvious but I'm making the note here because it wasn't
Something went wrong with your install.
gcc is installed under /usr/bin with a symlink to gcc-4.2:
cd diciu$ pkgutil --file-info /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
volume: /
path: /usr/bin/gcc-4.2
pkgid: com.apple.pkg.gcc4.2Leo
pkg-version: 4.2.0.9000000000.1.1249367152
[..]
pkgid: com.apple.pkg.Xcode3.2.1Update
pkg-version: 1.0.1.1249367152
[..]
pkgid: com.apple.pkg.Xcode3.2.1UpdateUNIXDevSupport
pkg-version: 1.0.1.1249367152
[..]
Is it possible that rather than not having gcc installed, your $PATH variable is messed up? first check if gcc is in /usr/bin manually. Then echo $PATH...
You didn't check the box that says "UNIX Development Support"[1] (or possibly you unchecked it; I can't remember if it's on by default or not) when you did the install, so it didn't install the necessary symlinks and drivers in /usr/bin/.
Reinstall, and make sure to read the descriptions of the configuration options and select the ones that you need.
1: "Optional content to allow command-line development from the boot volume. Installs a duplicate of the GCC compiler and command line tools blah blah blah..."
The same thing happened to me. Worked for a while then went away. Reinstall and it will be fixed.
You might want to download xcode from Apple while you are at it. Almost guaranteed to be fresher / more up-to-date since xcode is rapidly updated. Current xcode is 3.2.1.10. You need an Apple ID to download, but that also gives you access to the development site. All free....
